Abstract

The study analyses two cases of digital movements in Indonesia. It identifies who are the actors behind the movement, the spread of the movement, the tactics used to increase exposure, and challenges a digital movement faces. The first case is the movement to reject Firli Bahuri as chairman of the Corruption Eradication Committee (KPK), and the second case is the persecution of David Ozora by Mario Dandy, the son of a tax official. The Firli case represents a long movement that brought a lot of controversies. It attracted massive public attention, shown in the form of, among others viral hashtags on social media, news coverage in mainstream media, and even demonstrations that claimed lives. However, this movement was not successful. On the other hand, the movement that demands the persecution of David Ozora, which only lasted for a few days, successfully moved the government to respond quickly to remove the official’s position, suspect perpetrators, and bring gratuity and money laundering cases into court

Abstract

This article discusses the dominance of social assistance (bantuan sosial/bansos) policies in poverty alleviation in Indonesia, focusing on the political, social, and economic dynamics that influence their implementation. It is emphasized that social assistance, such as the Family Hope Program (Program Keluarga Harapan/PKH) and Direct Cash Assistance (Bantuan Langsung Tunai/BLT), are often the main instruments for short-term poverty reduction, especially in crises. However, their use is frequently politicized, especially in the run-up to elections, as a tool to strengthen the political legitimacy of those in power. This study also critiques the effectiveness of social assistance in addressing the root causes of poverty, such as access to education, employment, and structural reform. The paradox of increasing the allocation of the social assistance budget compared to the rate of poverty reduction suggests that this approach is less significant in the long term. This article proposes alternative policies, including Universal Basic Income (UBI), local economic empowerment, vocational training, and technology-based distribution reforms to increase transparency. The GEAR (Growth, Empowerment, Adaptive, Rational) social policy model is proposed as a strategic framework to reduce community dependence on social assistance, optimize resource distribution, and ensure the sustainability of socio-economic development.

Abstract

The appearance of Dr. Tirta's participation in tackling the Covid-19 pandemic went viral on social media. This study positions Dr. Tirta as an everyday maker in governance. The aim of this research is to fill the research gap in everyday maker studies, namely exploring everyday makers in a digital context. This research uses an online-based case study method that collects data from online sources. The data analysis technique consists of three stages, namely observation, combining and grouping. This study succeeded in looking at the everyday maker in the digital world, namely the form of work in the digital world and the transformation of the everyday maker concept in the digital space as follows; First, do it yourself reinforcement. Everyday makers no longer need a large number of members to create a movement because they are assisted by the digital context of the virtual world. Second, local coverage from conventional everyday makers who face local problems can now reach things that everyday makers could not reach before. Further discussion is needed regarding the effectiveness of social media for everyday makers, in other words, regardless of the influencer's identity, they do not have social capital.
